We are sorry to report that during the period between the last Santa train on the 23rd and first train that was due to depart Buckfastleigh on the 26th the SDR has suffered a Landslip between Buckfastleigh and Staverton that has blocked the line and brought a premature end to their 2013 running season. We wish them well with the clearance works and a speedy resumption of services in 2014.
